Entire App In HTML

[the_wesley_watkins]

So I have been working on a learning app for the past 6 months...

I initially was using a lot of the smart basic programming language but there were some things I couldn't get to work exactly the way I needed them to (fields, etc.). So, instead I decided to create the entire app in HTML, CSS, and Javascript and the only thing I am using sB for is to display the browser.

Is this a good idea? Could anything go wrong with this? I'm almost done with the app and it seems to be working just fine. But I was just wondering if there was anything that could possibly go wrong with me writing the whole thing in HTML and only using sB as a browser to display the HTML files.

Also, should I include a SLOWDOWN in the loop for my app? I mean, the code on the sB side of things is actually very simple. I just load up the browser and then I enter any empty loop. Kinda like this:

Code: Select all

SET ORIENTATION PORTRAIT
SET TOOLBAR OFF
GET SCREEN SIZE maxx, maxy

BROWSER 0 AT 0,0 SIZE maxx,maxy
BROWSER 0 URL start.html

loop:

goto loop

Yes, it is a good idea to SLOWDOWN this empty loop.

Also it could be a good idea to use javascript/html to make just a web apps.

Hope this helps.
